All Chapters of The Sound of Falling Blossoms: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

When James rushed out of the villa with Jessica in his arms, Laura was still sitting weakly on the ground with blooding pouring out the the back of her head and trickling down her neck.She looked at his receding figure. James seemed so desperate and in a panic. Not once did he turn around and look at her.The pain Laura was experiencing was excruciating. That was when she suddenly remembered that James once cared just as much about her as well.Back then, she was still a fish seller in the open market. Her hair was simply tied into a ponytail. She looked young and innocent. The other stall owners at the open market called her an angel.When James first saw her, he stood by Laura's stall for a full two hours. After that, he took out a premium bank card and said, "Be my girlfriend, and you won't have to work for the rest of your life."Laura might be poor, but she was proud. She was a little taken aback by James's words, but still gave the card back to him. "That won't be necessary

When Laura woke up again, she was lying on a hospital bed. Her back was burning."Laura!" James immediately came to the side of the bed. His eyes were bloodshot. "You're awake! Does it still hurt?"Seeing how worried James was, Laura was a little dazed.In the past, whenever she had a fever, he stayed beside her just like now.But now, she didn't have a fever, but was ordered to be whipped by James's parents, and as for James, he just stood and watched.She pulled her hand back and wasn't willing to look at James again.James was stunned by Laura's actions.He explained, "Laura, it's not that I don't want to speak up for you. It's just that if I spoke up back then, they would only give you a harsher punishment...""So you think it was me who hurt that baby as well?" Laura's voice was hoarse.James swallowed. In the end, he chose to remain silent.Such a reaction caused Laura's heart to ache even more. It was as if someone was driving a blunt knife into her heart.She looked

Laura's fever burned for three whole days before it finally broke.That was when Laura was allowed to leave her room.It was also the first birthday party of Jessica's daughter.The banquet hall was beautifully decorated and was full of guests.John and Sophia held their granddaughter in their arms with big smiles on their faces. All kinds of luxurious gifts were piled up beside them."James, this is for Jessica." Sophia handed over a gift box with a smile on her face.Inside was a beautiful diamond ring. The diamond on it seemed to be at least 10 carats. "This is what she deserves for giving us such an adorable granddaughter."James took the ring and put it on Jessica's ring finger.He then said gently, "Thank you."Jessica leaned into his arms shyly. They really did look like a happy family of three.Laura stood in the corner and watched as they took photos together. She also listened to the praises that the guests were giving them."The child's so adorable. She actually l

When James and Jessica's wedding was held, lots of big shots attended.In the grand hall, the decoration was luxurious, and the guests were clinking wine glasses with each other.The wedding was just an act, but the Lawson family still made this event really grand.The people who didn't know the truth behind this wedding thought this was a real wedding and were all congratulating Jessica on finally marrying into the Lawson family.When James heard those words, he was a little unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.At first, James was against holding this wedding, even though it was only a fake one.After all, the only person he wanted to marry was Laura. She was the only bride he wanted to have.But his parents forced him to have this wedding with Jessica.Just when both sides were at a stalemate, Jessica stepped forward to ease the tension.She said that she had been living at the Lawson family's residence for over a year without being given a proper status, and she had

The room had still remained exactly as it was when James had left. The books Laura often read had been left open and scattered on the bed, yet their owner was nowhere to be seen."Laura?""Laura!"James was dumbfounded. His trembling voice echoed through the empty room, but the familiar voice that once answered him was gone.The hand clutching the doorframe had fallen limply, and James had suddenly turned and rushed up the stairs.He went to the study, the lounge, the gym, even the narrow storage room... James had been like a wounded beast, frantically circling within increasingly smaller spaces. He had searched every corner and every possible place that she could have been. He moved faster and more chaotically; his breathing became heavy.Panic swept over him, almost suffocated him.James grabbed the butler beside him. "Where's Laura? Didn't I tell you to keep a close eye on her? Where is she?"To prevent Laura from escaping at the last moment, James had not only locked her be
